Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata has insisted that he and his teammates must move on from their Club World Cup defeat and be ready to face to Leeds United tomorrow.

Chelsea travel to Elland Road in the League Cup with just a day's rest between their return from Japan and tomorrow's encounter.

"We came to Japan to try and win this trophy and in the end we are not champions. Corinthians won and we are really sad," Mata told the club's official website.

"We have to carry on, continue trying to win as many matches as we can, try to win the next game against Leeds which is going to be tough.

"We want to win this competition as well. When we arrive in England we have to be ready for the Leeds game."

The 7.45 kickoff will be the first time Chelsea have faced Leeds since 2004.
